goodness was absolute stun by the impressive of this place. Barrels! Lots of. When entered, thought, 'ok, here's lots of barrel' in first room which was full of barrel. them had stack barrel on top of one another. it was incredible. next room them have done same thing. have also done draw of barrels. wow, so many barrels! then, when thought had seen enough barrels, nope, false alarm, more of them. them stack them tall and them stack them wide and them really only really have three conformation of barrel (pyramid, flat top pyramid, vertical pile) but still was chock full of these three conformations. must be idiot because assumed this was enough of the barrels but was not even half way round the barrel gallery. must be uneducated in art because stopped seeing what was so interesting about barrels but people still look at barrels as if barrels showing them something. absolutely amazing. 2*

The gallery was so different to any other I have been to. The staff were not amazingly friendly but that did add to the mysterious, modern and posh poshy atmosphere. Artwork was clever and interesting. They did love a barrel. A little more material about the work/artists would have been good (or just some labels for simple old me) but I didn't mind filling in the gaps with my imagination. The cafe outside with the rootiles and mirror was very hip never actually bought anything though. Overall, worth popping in!

Excellent gallery exhibition space that hosts good art exhibitions. It has a bookshop that is very good and a very broad selection of international magazines mainly related to art design, architecture, fashion and current affairs. During the summer months they have the Serpentine Pavilion that is an architectural project with a small cafe made by an emerging architect.

The best for discovering something new every season. Great friends and fantastic people. Look for some sale books on library.

Both Serpentine galleries are lovely airy spaces in which to view exhibitions. They are free (and air-conditioned) although a £4 donation is suggested. When we were there (on a Monday afternoon) both were very quiet so it is a relaxing experience to be able to walk round and not be jostled all the time.
